What is North Carolina USA Wrestling (ncwrestling.org)?
Updated
ncwrestling.org is the official website of North Carolina USA Wrestling, also called the North Carolina Amateur Wrestling Association (NCUSA). It is the state affiliate of USA Wrestling (USAW), the national governing body for wrestling in the United States. The site is the entry point for North Carolina wrestlers, coaches, clubs, and families who need USAW memberships, club charters, event sanctions, or state news. If you are looking for national USA Wrestling programs or another state's chapter, this is not the right site.
What the organization does
NCUSA describes its purpose as promoting, developing, and fostering wrestling across North Carolina. Its stated approach is state-level development: encouraging local organizations to become strong, viable groups, and recognizing that each community is different by offering options that fit each situation.
In practical terms, that means the state chapter handles the administrative layer between individual members and the national body — memberships, club registration, event approval, and national team coordination.
What you can do on the site
The homepage groups its main functions into a few clear actions:
| Action | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Membership | Purchase, renew, or upgrade USA memberships |
| Club charters | Register or charter a club |
| Sanction events | Apply to sanction a competition |
| National Team Coaches Pool | Volunteer as an assistant coach on National Team trips |
| Mailing list | Subscribe for updates (the site notes MailChimp may be temporarily unavailable) |
The membership link is the single entry point for all three membership actions — new purchase, renewal, and upgrade — plus club charters and event sanctions.
Coaching eligibility requirement
If you want to volunteer as an assistant on NCUSA National Team trips, the site states two requirements:
- You must be Bronze Certified
- You must complete the USOC Safe Sport Certification program
Both are listed as conditions of eligibility, not recommendations. The application is submitted through the National Team Coaches Pool form.
News and state activity
The site publishes state-level news and announcements. Recent items shown on the homepage include:
- Team NC Annual Meeting — held at Hickory Metro Center
- Team NC ties the Fargo AA record — seven All-Americans in one year, matching the state's best
- Summer wrestling programs — camps, clinics, and competition
- State Games wrestling — with beach wrestling leading off multiple events
These posts are the main way the chapter communicates schedules and results to members.
Who runs the site
The site is powered by SportsEngine's Sports Relationship Management (SRM) software. It is owned by and subject to the North Carolina USA Wrestling privacy policy, with SportsEngine, LLC listed as the platform provider.
When this site is the right resource
Use ncwrestling.org if you are in North Carolina and need to join or renew USAW membership, charter a club, sanction an event, apply for a national team coaching role, or follow Team NC news. If you need national-level membership policy, rulebooks, or another state's chapter, go to USA Wrestling directly or to that state's affiliate instead.
